Boot loop conditions are very common. Have you tried resetting the battery and then using the recovery method from a powered off state? Your recovery shouldn’t have been damaged by a factor reset from within the recovery. They’re designed to specifically prevent this situation from occurring.

Search before you ask

Search MakeUseOf for similar questions before posting your question.The

Be clear

Use clear English. We edit questions before publishing, but if we cannot
understand your question, we will have to reject it.

State your goal, it helps us find solutions!

For example, it is much better to say “I want to extend my WiFi at home.
How should I do that?” than “How good are WiFi repeaters?”

Be detailed

Provide the details other people would need to answer your question. For
example, saying your phone is broken is not that helpful. Saying that your
Moto G phone with Android 4.4.2 shuts down every time you start Chrome
gives us a lot more to go on. Provide any relevant information such as
error messages, odd behavior, location (for location-specific questions),
etc.
